Propel Industries Unveils Next-Gen Electric Tippers and Mobility Solutions
Said V. Senthilkumar, Managing Director, “Every new platform that we have introduced responds to the real needs of heavy-duty mining and construction environments. Our focus remains on productivity, long-term operating economics, reliability, and safety. With these additions, we are strengthening India’s electric heavy-duty ecosystem and giving operators technologies they can trust in demanding conditions.”
Siddarth Kirtane, President – EV Sales, Marketing and Service, added, “The new products reinforce Propel’s commitment to innovation, high-productivity solutions, zero-emission, and future-ready heavy-duty mobility. Since the start of the sales of EV trucks in 2023, the company has expanded its presence across coal, overburden, limestone, iron-ore, stone quarry, marble, granite, and solid waste management segments. Propel trucks have cumulatively covered over 5 lakh operating hours and the first set of 8 trucks clocked 12,500 hours in two years, which is equivalent to 20 hours per day. This proves the reliability and uptime of Propel’s electric trucks.”
The company’s new Electric Tipper 90CED is India’s first ultra-fast charging 90-ton electric dumper, with 34 cu.m struck volume and battery options ranging from 310 to 650kWh. Safety systems include ADAS level 1 Electronic Braking System, Driver Fatigue Monitoring, Fail Safe Parking, Trunnion Jack, an Advanced Human Machine Interface, all of which meet DGMS safety requirements.
The 70CED – India’s first 8x4 Mining Tipper with a 25 cu.m rock body, is designed for high-output mining operations, delivering higher payload in every trip. The 560HEV-x – India’s first 8x4 Construction Tipper with 25 cu.m box body is built for large-scale construction with its higher capacity, advanced stability, and fast charging. The 470MEV Gen-2 – India’s first 6x4 Tipper with 20 cu.m rock body — has been upgraded with a higher carrying capacity, 3 battery pack options, and it meets the DGMS-safety requirements.
“Through advanced engineering, innovative architecture and data driven battery management systems, Propel has built a track record of high battery reliability in various operating conditions. The trucks are equipped with lithium-ion batteries with an in-built battery firewall (automatic fire detection & suppression system). The company is leading the industry with a path-breaking battery warranty of 5 years or 5000 cycles for their tippers,” informed Senthilkumar.
Propel introduced Pulse.ev, its new digital ecosystem built in-house for electric mining and hauling operations. It gives real-time vehicle health and diagnostics, energy consumption insights, predictive maintenance analytics, and enables fleet optimization for multi-shift operations.
Also launched was Pro EV Care, a comprehensive five-tier service package to meet the diverse needs of customers, backed by an uptime assurance program to ensure higher productivity and availability. It gives predictable operating costs, lifecycle assurance for EV fleets, and customizable on-site service.
“India’s push for zero-emission heavy mobility is accelerating, with leading OEMs globally launching high-range and high-capacity EV trucks. Propel’s 2025 portfolio establishes India’s most comprehensive and indigenously engineered electric mining and construction range, positioning the company at the forefront of sustainable heavy-duty transportation,” said Kirtane.
